Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has written to Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry, saying the office should take steps to offload federal workers and contractors who don't show up for work, aren't performing official duties or "are simply not working at all." In the letter, Coburn, the ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said doing so could prevent the need to furlough critical employees under sequestration.

from someone who does not know or care to learn OPM regulations. I have every confidence Mr Coburn's office staff in WashDC and OK are not a 100% stable of superstar employees. How many of his employees has he removed for substandard performance?

I don't know about do nothing federal employees but i do know Tom Colburn earns a great living obstructing severely disabled war fighters from receiving concurrent receipt, the man is a detriment to military families.

Fear not my friend. You are going to see a lot of the old guard anti Veteran crowd, both parties looking for new jobs come 2014. As Tammy Duckworth creamed her opponet in the last election so will others. I am Nam Era, Desert Storm and now the Iraq/Afghanistan Vets are coming on board. This lie of it takes years to get VA is coming to a close. As fast as Congress can fund a war they can take care of Veterans too. When they tell you there is no money. They are LIARS.

btw, Ms Duckwork garnered less than 2% of the vote in her previous run for office. the party then rewarded her with a do-nothing jobs at the IL Dept of Veterans's Affairs and subsequently a do-nothing job at the VA. she did not win this election; her opponent's misstatements resulted in him defeating himself. I am intrigued she requires use of a wheelchair only when television cameras are nearby.

Got a video of a paraplegic miraculously walking without legs? Yes, I know about artificial limbs, many combat vets use them, but you make it sound like she has no trouble walking after losing her legs and an arm in war. Care to post your source of information for these vile comments, DanS? Right wing hate radio? Faux News? Your own diseased imagination?

Dan, have you voluteered to help a Veteran or are you one of those GOP type that wave the flag when the troops go to war but think they are welfare cases when they come home? That kind of thinking is what made Tammy's opponent lose. WAAA don't talk about your War record, thats not fair" Boehner now has an Army Veteran running against him for 2014. Cantor, Issa, and Ryan will soon have Veterans running against them too. All the money from Norquist, Rove, will not help. Swift boating technique has been crushed.Soon Coburn will be voted out too. GOP really needs a make over. They have cornered themselves and now need to "Sequester" until they can get their stuff together.

Speak for yourself Senator or whatever you clowns on Capitol Hill call yourselves these days. Keep messing with fellow Americans the way you 1960's leftover loser generation are you mind find that you'll need more hemmeriod medicine from youre past stupid sit ins when you were younger and stupid chant DUH whole world is watchin.
